Review by MrNeil:

Been heavy drinker for nearly 30 years. On my 7th day of home detox using Librium. It works, is all I can say. Also take acamprosate 3 times daily to hep with cravings, they both work wonders. My skin is looking healthy, I feel healthier and am looking forward for the first time in years. I'm only 44, want to start enjoying life, seeing my kids/grandchildren grow up. Don't give up on yourself is my only message.

27 years old been drinking for 15 years. 3 cases of beer and 6 to 9 pints of hard liquor a day. Tried to quit on my own for months, kept relapsing from pain. Lost my family, now on Librium for two days and better than ever and will not go through this again. Feeling like death is not worth your children and a good woman.

My boyfriend is taking this for alcohol withdrawal. It works wonders for the withdrawal symptoms, but makes him a zombie. He is confused, unsteady on his feet and dizzy. He's been alcohol free for 3 days now and after tomorrow, I am going to take the pills away. Just my opinion.

A miracle for alcohol withdrawal. I was taken to the ER for hallucinating and was about to have a seizure after going cold turkey for 72 hours, BIG mistake. Librium completely fix it in a few mins. If you are a heavy drinker get this please. You only need to take it for a week and quitting is easy. It did make me drowsy but ALL the withdrawal symptoms were gone.

I detoxed once inpatient and was given Librium in unknown amounts. I relapsed a few months later, back to drinking a bottle of vodka every two days. I went to substance abuse doctor who said I could safely do it at home. Took 50mg right away, 50mg that night. 75mg day 2, 50mg day 3 and 25mg day 4. Those were taken at once either in morning or at night. I did morning because throwing up and shakes were my worst part of the withdrawal. Working like a charm. Highly recommend to anyone. I tried cold turkey and that's how I ended up inpatient the first time because I was dangerously sick by day 3. Librium is a God send for withdrawal.

I've been a heavy daily drinker for a few years now and got prescribed stomach pills that had Librium as one of the ingredients. After a few days of taking it I had a really busy day and didn't realize until the next day that I hadn't had a drink. No cravings, No cold sweats, and even slept well. Impressed.

Observer: My boyfriend has drank for over 25 years...morning to night brandy whisky....enlarged liver, bloated belly, sickness, malnutrition, bleeding from ulcerated stomach, bowel cancer..but is recovered . He IS on Librium now 120 mg a day. 3rd day in snoozing peacefully. No sickness this time, not a noticeable shake, eating fine and a tonic water. I snooze peacefully now because WE want to live.

For me, this relieves withdrawal symptoms within an hour. It's like magic relief from awful withdrawal anxiety, heart thumping, and nervous system twinges that I get in withdrawal. I have been prescribed it when I am honest with the doctor and they know I am pursuing staying sober, going to counseling etc. It is a miracle for withdrawal symptoms for me.

Was so happy to take it. Felt better right away was given 3 x 25 mg pills to take 1 twice a day. Helped with my alcohol withdrawal, took a second one in the morning just in case I went through withdraw again. Didn't feel like I needed it the next day, but took one anyway. Amazing how it worked for me. Felt like a normal person again.

First time I went to an inpatient rehab, thought I was going to die I was so sick, shaking uncontrollably, near hallucinating, and they gave me two tablets of which mg I don't know, and it worked wonders! I took what I imagine to be 25mg every 4-6 hours after that and within 3 days felt great, stayed there 5 days and at day 4 I was ready to get out of there. Unfortunately, I relapsed and binged for a month. This time I did it outpatient and the Dr. gave me 25mg tabs which I took 1 every 4-6 hours the first day and it immediately made me feel 10 times better. Overall the course of 5 days I slowly tapered off and it's what I recommend to anyone wiithdrawing from the sauce.

I was a very heavy drinker for 7 years. It got to the point to where I was drinking 18-24 beers a night. I would drink right after I would wake up because I'd be shaking. Decided I needed to stop. Went to my doctor and he gave me Librium. He told me I can take up to 300mg a day. I took 125mg each day for 3 days. This medicine worked wonders. I had virtually no withdrawal whatsoever during the 3 days. I recommend this to anyone that wants to quit drinking without going to a detox center.

When I fell off the wagon I was dreading another trip to the ER when I sobered up. I saw my doctor and he prescribed this and it helped immensely. I have really bad panic attacks and my blood pressure skyrockets along with nausea, shakes, sweats, etc. This medicine helped get me off booze twice. Recommended.

Librium is great. I was going through suicidal withdrawal. Librium stopped that within 3 hours and it lasts a long time.

25 mgs took away the shakes and sweats and helps greatly with anxiety and isn't sedating. It works within hours. This is the medicine to take for withdrawal and anxiety!

This is the only medicine that is truly effective in regards to indescribable horror that true alcohol withdrawal brings.

Librium was great for my alcohol detox. While it didn't completely get rid of my shakes it did alleviate the nastier symptoms of my withdrawl. There was no nausea, minimal anxiety etc. Helps immensely with alcohol detox.

I hadn't slept in 2 days and this was great. Had some weird dreams but better than the opposite of not sleeping.

My uncle was drinking for over 35 years and after detoxing once before he was doing considerably well. Things took a down hill turn for him and it took us a while to get him the right kind of help. Librium is the way to go. He went from convulsions, shakes, hallucinations - to a few minor discomforts. By now even those are gone. Good bless everyone one of you looking for a way out. It is out there but you must believe in yourself 100%.

I have serious issues with relapse. Do six months to a year then break out. Have a lovely doctor who gave me Librium and it helps. Makes me dopey but the sweating, the shakes, the empty wretching all abated. Really need to do it this time. I'm so tired of relapsing.

Unfortunately I am a chronic relapser and have had many alcohol-withdrawal related seizures in the past. Every time I have gone to the hospital they have given me Librium and it absolutely took away all my withdrawal symptoms. No more sweating, shaking, or vomiting. I have asked several doctors in the past to prescribe Librium to me but they have all said that it should be administered at a hospital where I could be monitored. This time around however the hospital sent me home after 7 hrs and gave me a script for 6-25mg. I only took 5 and experienced no withdrawal symptoms what-so-ever and I was a liter of vodka/day drinker. Highly recommend Librium.

I was into withdrawal one and a half days when I started shaking and feeling anxious. Having already had several seizures due to alcohol I went to my GP who prescribed Librium. Symptoms almost stopped completely after 1 day and after that no symptoms at all. Don't try to stop yourself it's dangerous and could cost you your life.

Amazing! Absolutely NO side effects, took me 3 months and I'm done with alcohol forever. Do NOT drink while you take it. PLEASE try it for our children's sake.
